I was thrift shopping the other day and while browsing the cds I came across Garry Glitter (not like that ya pervs)

And I was half temped to buy it. Well it was cheap. And I did like that song rock and roll part 2

But then of course there is the whole thing of him being a ya know and all

So yeah. I'm not supporting the artist by buying a cd second hand. But I still didn't feel comfortable getting it. Anyone know what I'm on about?

If you looked harder I'm sure there was a Jim'll'Fix It annual or Paint With Rolf book there you could have had to read while listening to a man who spent his spare time fucking kids. Or you could just accept that the world would be a better place if these scumbags had never existed and throw the lot in the bin.

I should add that I didn't end up buying it.

Hey, my bookshelves are stocked with the works of racists, classists, sexists and homophobes, who am I to judge.

You could always just listen to it for free on Youtube.  Fuckface Glitter gets nothing, and you don't own a spiritually soiled item. Just don't go round singing it on buses.

Steven Tyler and Jimmy Page are also both paedophiles, but nobody seems to care.

Also Tom Jones, allegedly.  I can sort of see Steven Tyler getting away with it, though, as people are likely to turn a blind eye to your proclivities when you make such a great contribution to our culture.

As with Lostprophets, I feel sorry for the co-writers and band members of these nonces.

Bill Wyman too.....started dating Mandy Smith when she was 14....married her at 16.....think that's called 'grooming' now innit?

She was 16, and not 14, when they met and this was the age of consent at the time.

It only takes about 10 seconds to research that story a little further to find that out.

This was where I read it originally. You could be right; I don't know - it seems that accounts differ.

Indeed - read an interview with her a few years ago where she says she was 16. However there is a video interview she did where she refers to her being under-age. So her own accounts differ.

Eitehr way, there does seem to be a vaguely (or not vaguely) sinsiter double standard as to who gets to be binned - I still hear the Mamas and Papas on the radio for example ...

Well, you did start a thread about a convicted paedophile...
